Giamela added, “I would like to thank Peter Edge, Joe Riccitelli, and John Fleckenstein for this incredible promotion. After almost 5 years at RCA, I could not be more thrilled to start this next chapter in my career at such a powerhouse label. Being involved with breaking artists such as G-Eazy, Khalid, Bryson Tiller and SZA have been some of the proudest moments in my career. I look forward to cultivating our new artists as well as developing and furthering our existing roster.”
